David James Rogers, age 70, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 31st, 2019, at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC.

David is survived by his loving wife, Sylvia, children Katie (Greg) Cavaletto, John, and Melinda (Chris) Hunter. David is also fondly remembered by his five grandchildren; Logan, Mia, Courtney, Owen and Alexis and sister Nancy McClure (Rene) Randall. David will be missed by numerous Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, sister in laws, brother in laws, nephews, nieces and many cherished friends.

He was predeceased by his parents, John and Kathleen Rogers, his beloved Gram, Margaret More and his life long best friend Stuart Malcolm.

David was born on September 13th, 1948 in Truro, Nova Scotia. He spent his childhood moving back and forth from Nova Scotia to British Columbia, as his father was in the Navy. His family settled in Kamloops in the late 50’s. In 1978, he met his beloved wife, Sylvia and they were married on June 16, 1979. David and Sylvia enjoyed raising their three children in Kamloops. David worked in the plumbing industry for most of his career. He developed many terrific friendships through his golf, curling, bowling and bridge clubs.

David was a caring, responsible and honest man. He was an avid golfer, curler and bridge player. He had a competitive nature and was always willing to teach something new. He loved a good book, music, games, swimming and taking a long drive. He was a proud Father and Grandad. His family was his greatest pride. He was a selfless and generous man. He was always there to offer advice. He was quick witted and always had a funny joke to tell. His laugh compared to no one else. His presence in the room will be dearly missed.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Proctor and the wonderful nurses on 7North as well as Shelley from Royal Inland Hospital. For those who wish to make a memorial donation, the family requests they be made to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday March 16th, 2019 at 1:00 pm in the Clubhouse at Kamloops Golf and Country Club. The Willows: 3125 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, BC.
